With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

You could just take off your rings...

 

Jade's gonna realize Bleez is running an op on Paul, isn't she?

 

Thank you, corrected.

 

Do they even have the people to fill and man those?

 

Sort of. They're going to have to do a lot less fighting, and they're got access to mass produced halfling hotpot so fights against orcs and goblins are a lot easier. It's also a big point of pride.

Thorgrim is planning on getting the other kings together to discuss the options the SI has laid before him for increasing the dwarf population.

 

That armor the dwarfs are makings for him is likely worthy of song and legend. Warhammer Paul might actually end up with armor that is better than main Paul's powered armor in many ways.

 

Jade is giving him the mother of all side-eyes right now isn't she?

 

Hmm. I rather get the feeling that if Jade wasn't there Bleez wouldn't have minded giving Paul a little bit of a show.

 

as a Viet Nam person, that blatant lie, you people stand out like a clown inside a military parade

 

Trying to be inconspicuous... When she's travelling with 'The Cake Man'. That's an endeavour doomed to failure. At best, the Superhero paparazzi websites will have a field day with 'Orange Lantern seen with new beauty! Who is she? Is she Cape or Crook?!' headlines...

Spoiler: Commentary spoilered for length

After the Sheeda invasion, it's probably not the strangest thing they've seen.

Probably a defensive reaction to seeing a Superhero acting all casual. ...Then again, this isn't Marvel Universe New York..

On the upside... Ah... I got nothin'.

I shudder to imagine what that's doing to the linguistic makeup of the nation. Consider places where African languages fused with European to produce things like the distinct Cajun patter.

It's good to be connected, eh? That village was probably one of the safest places on Earth for a while.

...Antarctica? Themyscira? The Amazons might respect their privacy, though it might be a bit too old-school for Jade.

Heh. Bet Boss Smiley is fuming about all the 'this ain't like the real world any more' stuff going on.

If they're lucky, they'd just get ignored or brushed off. If they're unlucky, or pushy... Well, good thing OL carries healing rays.

Heh. Exhausted all the possibilities on Earth. Time to look to the stars, eh?

Police State, remember?

Honestly, Jade might find Rashashoon refreshing. Lots of asses to be kicked. Not exactly a relaxing time, though.

That can be fixed, you know. After all, if you want it, you can have a climate-controlled little holiday bunker home set up in under five minutes.

Well, doing something and enjoying it are two different things...

Given Jade's insistence on a shower back in Kenya, I don't think she's in the mood to rough it either...

...Yeah. DC aliens can get real weird once you step away from the anthropoid form.

Something like a Cyberpunk RPG setting? Seriously, I would not have wanted to live there before.

And likely be violently offended if you refused?

What if work finds you? Don't tell me you're not carrying a weapon or two hidden somewhere...

Havania, for reference. Not a lot of info on it outside of Bleez's tragic backstory.

Eh, it's surprisingly common once you leave the solar system in DC. Though usually never so crassly described as 'slavery'...

...Not unless their landowner is a sadist, I suspect...

...Yes, that's so much better.

Heh. Interplanetary Comms device... Disguised as a common smartphone.

Wonder how much of it's been catching on?

...And this is why Video-phones never caught on until the smartphone generation. All those inevitable 'eek, I was in the shower!' calls.

Well, so much for a quiet time on Earth. Still, hopefully things remain calm and peacef-fpphh... <Pffttt-haha...> No, no, I couldn't even finish typing that with a straight face. All hell's going to break loose, isn't it? Seriously, every chapter without something going horribly wrong just makes us more and more nervous. No doubt Mr Zoat is enjoying that subtle suffering.

 

A holo projector that covers him shouldn't be too hard?

But mostly he will have problems not trying to improve things.

I think Jade should jsut accept this will be a work holiday

 

OL could just a wear the disguise he had in the crime syndicate world.

 

Good, you're learning.

Most likely.

 

OL should maybe offer to create a few Super "Heroes" for the government of Vietnam and other similar nations, after all it sounds like they could use some and it's not like doing so would take much time or effort from OL.

 

They should go to Krypton. No work there.

 

Also no planet there.

 

People in America still think of Paul as the Cake Guy instead of the guy who revolutionized international travel, don't they?

That should say 'bag'.

Does Bleez actually like Paul as a friend and wouldn't mind if they did casual hook ups, or is she just playing a role when interacting with him?

 

To be fair, the cake thing is much more interesting.

It could be both.

She could be spying on him but may also actually like him.

 

i am surprise we copy the bloody Chinese and remove them

VN hate CN, we would have kept it if it mean that we can throw them at those yellow belly chicken when ever they feel like side eyeing our clay like the last 2 millennia

 

But do individual clowns stand out if clowns are all there are?

No, the system has other planets and planetoids.

Thank you, corrected.

Discussed tomorrow.

I am in no way qualified to discuss Vietnam-China relations in any detail. Assume that it was long enough ago that any modern day antipathy had not yet arisen.

 

<double-checks Rule 8, nods>

It's not "modern day", it's ancient. The only reason Vietnam and China weren't at each others throats in the 1960-70s was the common enemy; once that was gone it was right back to business as usual and they fought a war in 1979.

That said, it's entirely plausible the extant supers were 'enemies of the revolution' and it was coincidental.

 

Zoat likely already has it all planned out.

More importantly, this isn’t the Common Sense Paul universe.

 

This shall always make me sad.

 

The first sounds like something that's bound to give them work. The second would ensure privacy, but wouldn't isolate them from things that demand their attention.

 

Is hilarious how Oh El literally can't think of anywhere were ge wouldn't have work or superhero stuff.

And by the way the anti time travel and anti alternate universe travel tech only covers Earth so... go to the moon, slide to another universe; have fun!

"Alternate Earth, no animal life at all; no pollution, air can be breathed by humans. Best vacation I had in decades."

Also as the metal men showed, you can change the colour of the emotional lights.

 

My expectations continue to be met.

I forget, did he not realise she was a spy or just decide he didn’t care?

 

Thanagar eh... that isolated Themiscyran beach i suggested is looking better and better

 

BTW Mr Zoat, there is a story on SB that (sorta) crossed-over with WTR (The Travelling Merchant and Wandering Mage [Multi-cross SI])
Specifically this story is a part of a multi-part SI that is moving through multiple settings.
It's reaaaaly complicated:

• He originally is self inserted over to Faerun as a Orc and ascends as a Orc god where his main portfolio is being pragmatic war god and god of magic (in war) (In my time of troubles (DnD SI sorta))
• Then he starts sending Avatars of himself to other universes
• In one of those he goes to YJ pre-canon (The Dark Shard: Enemy of the Light (Young Justice SI (D&D fic cross/Hellblazer))(Worm from Chapter 3 onwards))
  • other Shards are sent in Star Wars, Worm and Elenium
  • in the YJ one things develop until they start getting access to other universes
  • One of those is Worm where he gets Cloned by Echidna
  • That clone then gets basically exiled from the local YJ universe
  • And becomes a multiversal merchant where he goes to multiple universes like
    • Skyrim,
    • Wanted (normal and AU one were the villains won and took over and one were they didn't)
    • DCAU
    • Sliders
    • FSN (where Waver and Lorelei Barthomeloi find out about FSN)
    • And in the newest chapter WTR during Season 1, after Roanoke
    • He has implied that it will become a (sorta) hub from where he will go to nearby universes to get supplies, he hasn't said if those with be other Lantern SI fics, or even it it will be Fanfics anyway

 

Well, if Bleez is running an op on Paul, Jade is very likely to notice. If Bleez isn't running an op, Jade will probably realize that, too.

 

Thank you for pointing that out, but as I've stated, once it's posted it belongs to everyone.

Heh, I'm actually doing a reread of the Star Wars one. Tried the orc one and sort of gave up part way through.

Why are you refering to something other than comic-Wanted as 'normal'?
